Topic : Progress In The Midst Of Challenges.

Memory Verse : 2 Thessalonians 1:4. That is why we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God. We boast about the way you continue to endure and believe through all the persecutions and sufferings you are experiencing.

Bible Reading : 2 Thessalonians 1:1-3 GNB. Key Verse : v3.

From Paul, Silas, and Timothy —To the people of the church in Thessalonica, who belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Our brothers and sisters, we must thank God at all times for you. It is right for us to do so, because your faith is growing so much and the love each of you has for the others is becoming greater.

The strength of every man’s walk the Lord is tied his or her conviction about whom God is, God’s plan for his or her life and where he is taking him /her. Convictions are like the roots that keeps a tree standing, even in the midst of unfavourable circumstances. The deeper the root enters the ground, the firmer and safer the tree becomes. This conviction itself is a product of our experiences in him as we live for him and walk with him daily. “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:3-6 KJV.

Same experience which comes through our dealings with the Almighty is responsible for how much we are able to love God. The strength of our love towards God itself is always revealed in our dealings with fellow brethren and how we handle kingdom related issues and assignments. Now, we have to note that every kingdom assignment given to each and every one of us is designed by the Spirit to supply the needs of others around us or within our reach, for the proper functioning of the body. “If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear? And if it were only an ear, how could it smell? As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be. There would not be a body if it were all only one part! As it is, there are many parts but one body. So then, the eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Nor can the head say to the feet, “Well, I don’t need you!”” 1 Corinthians 12:17-21.

Our ability to stand and make progress in the midst of challenges can also be aided by our understanding that our efforts in the kingdom attracts eternal rewards. That is the reason Apostle Paul submitted that we don’t run or fight like men who doesn’t have any target. Rather we labour like men who have understanding of God’s reward system. For every sacrifices we make, there are rewards and for everyone who makes themselves instruments in the hands of the devil, the Lord reserves their own reward too. He rewards every man according to how we respond to matters of his interest. “All this I do for the gospel’s sake, in order to share in its blessings. Surely you know that many runners take part in a race, but only one of them wins the prize. Run, then, in such a way as to win the prize. Every athlete in training submits to strict discipline, in order to be crowned with a wreath that will not last; but we do it for one that will last for ever.” 1 Corinthians 9:23-25.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because it is your will that I keep making progress in my walk with you. Let my root of conviction sink deep into you. Thank you because I will keep making progress in you come what may till everlasting victory in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 11:19-30.
